Driver Question for stacking

[clean399]

We were talking today and we have come to the conclusion that during a match we if we are driving on another robot we would give that robot's driver the option to drive our robot on to their robot. This is only because we think that if people were driving on us we are scared that they may hit our fork lift system and break it. I have not found anything against this in the rules, what do you guys think about it?

I guess they don't forbid it, but my guess is they will if you try it.

I doubt it's very time efficient to switch controls in a match.

Drive another teams robot?

Thats some bad juju there.
I personally wouldnt want anyone driving our robot that does not know what it feels like doing it. Thats kind of scary.

I agree that this would not be a time effective move, and I think 3/4 of bots with ramps are being designed to take a bit of a beating (we are making a hardstop at the end of the ramp out of our arm, but just reinforcing it so we shouldn't have to worry). During the hectic end of the match people barley have time to think, so I think its guaranteed to be reckless no matter if they want to or not, and you just have to design for it.

If I'm a ramp robot, and I want to preserve myself, I'd trust YOU to drive your robot more safely than I would myself. After all, you built, practiced, and competed with your drivetrain - I never have!
